Looks clean!

I had an e30 whose reg ended in 'UG'. Your car must be from Leeds/Bradford area originally.

Re: My 1991 Mauritius Blue - picture

Thanks for the positive comments. There are a couple of areas of paintwork I'm wondering what to do about:- nsf top of wheel arch bubbling, area under petrol filler flap 'crazed' - probably been re-done in the past. One half of me says to leave it in case any repairs make it look worse, the other says to sort it to make her look 100%. Any advice for this (relatively) minor re-paint

Car looks great ,colour really suits it.

I recently paid £160.00 to have my wing mirrors resprayed,a rust bubble on the sunroof sorted,numerous stone chips & a couple of nasty gouges on the roof where a roof rack had been badly fitted.

Job was excellent and was done by a mobile stonechip guy,for that money & a car like that I would definitely have it done.

If you are in my part of the world I will pass on his number-he is excellent.

I notice that your car is red, is it 'solid' or does it have a clear lacquer coating ?

Re: My 1991 Mauritius Blue - picture

If mine was solid then I wouldn't hesitate - anyone any comments with metallic/lacquer coat repairs ?
